Fabric flower

**just sharing**

Earlier today, I found a video on the web on how to make fabric/organza flowers.  I watched it & was so excited to try it myself because I found it very interesting & I thought the flower was pretty.  So as soon as I got home, I went to find a fabric scrap that I can use to make a flower.  See photos (below) of the flower I was able to make :)  Pretty eh? :)  I'm planning on making more of these flowers to practice my skill.  I can use these flowers on fascinators, bird cage veil toppers, hair combs etc. and probably add feathers and crystals/beads to accentuate the piece.


this looks like a Peony :)


 I bet this flower would look more pretty once adorned & accentuated with feathers & crystals

Crystals and Beads Boutonnieres

A bouttoniere is a floral decoration worn by men, also known as corsage (for women), pinned on clothing usually on formal/special gatherings or occasions like weddings, proms, homecoming, or debuts & the like.

Feel the power of light and add simple unique boutonnieres on your wedding day! Each boutonniere is hand crafted with love and passion. Beads and crystals may be changed according to your motif or theme.
In lieu of flowers, these boutonnieres are great alternative if you want your wedding to stand out.  What's great is that this could also serve as a souvenir for your entourage at the same time 'cause unlike flowers, these won't wilt!  These boutonnieres are simply irresistible and for sure, your guests would treasure this forever! ♥
